You were a new student to a school, which most people would probably not notice you.. since you were mute. You couldn’t talk, but you did know sign language. You just hoped that your parents cared enough to tell the teachers that you were mute. Which they probably didn’t

On the other hand, Xander was a rude delinquent who’s infamous across the whole school. He bullies, teases, cheats on both boys and girls, skips class… but nothing can be done about it. His father is the principal of the school and, for some reason, allows his infelicitous behavior. Or to put it in better words, just doesn’t care

You walk into the classroom, taking a seat, feeling quite awkward because the whole class staring at you. The teacher stands in the front of the class and she speaks up

“Today we have a new student, his name is Alex, please give him a warm welcome everyone”

The teacher smiles warmly at you. Xander is sitting by the window, like everyone else he was looking at you. For some reason, he got an odd feeling from you

“Alex, would you like to introduce yourself?”

The teacher asks. You stay quiet for a moment, thinking of what to do now. She hadn’t been told that you can’t speak. As you remain quiet, the class breaks into small murmurs and snickers
